2019 Havasu Balloon Festival

Everyone enjoys the holidays, especially here in the desert. We have so many ways to celebrate Christmas in Lake Havasu City. In fact, several of these events continue on through this weekend. Some of us aren’t ready to let go of the holidays just yet. But the first huge event for the new year takes place next week: the 2019 Havasu Balloon Festival. And anyone who’s ever been to one of these festivals before knows why it’s been named one of the Top 100 Events in North America.

2019 Havasu Balloon Festival

The Lake Havasu lifestyle means enjoying sunny skies even in the wintertime. With highs in the mid-60’s and wide open skies, our City provides a wonderful place to host something like the 2019 Havasu Balloon Festival.

Each day includes a gorgeous morning mass ascension at 7:45 am (except Thursday) and a gorgeous Night Glow mass ascension each evening at 6:30 pm (except Sunday). I highly recommend the Night Glow. It will take your breath away! In between, guests enjoy live music and dancing performances, art, juggling, and much more. As long as the weather allows, you can go on an untethered balloon ride for $200 per person. Tethered balloon rides cost $20 per adult, $10 for ages six to 11, and $5 for kids under six. Tickets are available each day at the ride sale tent. For a full schedule of events, please visit the 2019 Havasu Balloon Festival website.
